I have a confession. I have an addiction problem. I’m addicted to my iPhone. There, it’s out. Whew. It wasn’t always this bad. At least I don’t think it was before we had K. Having a baby around meant there was no way I could use my computer since I am always with her, which in turn made my iPhone my primary communication device. I use it while I breastfeed. I used it while I held a sleeping baby in my arms. I used it while on the train or bus. I used it while at the restaurant waiting for food to arrive. I usedRead More →

Ever get an idea that just won’t go away even when you know you don’t have time to pursue it? I get them all the time, which is why I start so many projects but have a hard time finishing them because I’m always getting distracted with wanting to try something new. Darn ideas. Well, despite my long to-do list and my carefully planned out schedule for this week, I ended up going off on a tangent again. Instead of spending the day doing photo walks of several places, I stayed home to work on an idea that’s been nagging me this past week andRead More →

Since I’m a bit stressed over putting the finishing touches to my final portfolio for my poetry class, I’m having a change of plans and share one of the poems I wrote for my class. Normally, I avoid scarring people with my poetry but I’ll do it just this once since I don’t have the time to write a good post on gratitude, family or Thanksgiving. This one was inspired by my recent dream about my grandfather. It’s not based on an actual event either and I know the ending sounds a little weird but that’s the best I can do when I’m short onRead More →

Today is a day of 11’s! Being the geek that I am, I took a photo today at 11:11am (pm doesn’t count since it shows up as 23:11 here). This is what I was doing at 11:11am on 11.11.11 I was at work (and technically still am at the time of this post). But I’m the only one in the office at this time so I can geek out as much as I want. I took a quick photo of what’s outside of our office window before 11:11 finished. Yes, that’s a graveyard. And it’s raining. And also pretty cold. Ok, geekery is done andRead More →

Did you know that November is NaBloPoMo? No? It’s okay because I wasn’t aware of it until yesterday when a few of the blogs I read started mentioning how they were taking part in it. So what exactly is NaBloPoMo? Must be a weird Jen sound effect, right? Well, no, it stands for National Blog Posting Month. It’s the blog equivalent to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Since I don’t foresee myself writing a novel anytime soon, I figure I can give the blog version a try. All I really need to do is write a blog post every day for the month of November.Read More →

I’m going to geek out tonight for this weeks Alphabe-Thursday: Blue.  It’s something I promised Jason that I would write a post about and so I’m following up on that promise 🙂  So if you get lost, confused or bored of reading this post, I won’t hold any grudges.  So don’t feel bad for skimming or skipping. Blue is the color of Maat’s cap. You’re probably wondering who Maat is.  Well, he’s this character in an online game that Jason plays (it’s Final Fantasy XI). This is Maat. Maat is an old man who is well trained in all the different job classes in thisRead More →

I have Indian art history on the brain.  (And I mean India Indian, not Native American Indian) I have an art history exam tomorrow on all the Indian art history I’ve learned in the past week and a half.  I can’t believe I spent most of my day reviewing and studying Buddhist and Hindu art.  I feel like my brain will explode… Since I am unable to think of anything else other than art history right now, I will cheat and put up a cute picture of E in her new toy, the medium sized Ikea bucket. Isn’t she so adorable?  I can’t believe howRead More →

I love ice cream. I’m also very Chinese and is always on the lookout for bargains. That’s why I was so happy the other day when I saw a sale on Haagen Dazs ice cream when I was at the market. It was 9:00am in the morning but I bought ice cream and I ate it. I did say that I love ice cream, right?  There’s never a bad time to eat ice cream in my world. Mmm, look at the yummy ice cream… While I was sitting outside of the market enjoying my mini cup of ice cream, I started thinking about how muchRead More →
